(A) Notice of Claim. Before the City shall be liable for a damage claim, suit for personal injury, or damage to property, the person who is injured or whose property has been damaged or someone on behalf of that person shall give the City Manager or the City Secretary notice in writing, duly verified, within sixty (60) days after the date of the alleged injury or damage. The notice shall state specifically when, where, and how the injury or damage was sustained, setting forth the extent of the injury or damage as accurately as possible, and giving the names and addresses of all witnesses known to claimant upon whose testimony claimant is relying to establish the injury or damage. In case of injury resulting in death, the person or persons claiming damage shall within sixty (60) days after the death of the injured person give notice as required above. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to mean the City waives any rights, privileges, defenses, or immunities in tort action which are provided under the common law, the laws of the State of Texas, and the State Constitution.
(B) Security and Bond. It shall not be necessary in any action, suit or proceeding in which the City is a party, for any bond, undertaking, or security to be demanded or executed by or on behalf of said City in any of the State Courts, but in all such actions, suits, appeals and proceedings, the same shall be conducted in the same manner as if such bonds, undertaking or security had been given as required by law.
